What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a mechanical failure of the reagent cartridge that could lead to instrument malfunction, but no direct patient injury or illness is reported.
